The dominant issue was whether the GST demand order and subsequent rectification rejection were vitiated for breach of natural justice due to non-consideration of the taxpayer's reply to the show cause notice. The Court found that the reply had been sent and uploaded prior to adjudication, yet the demand was raised mechanically without dealing with the reply, denying a proper opportunity of hearing; consequently, the demand order was set aside and the matter remanded to the adjudicating authority for fresh consideration. The rectification rejection was also set aside as it flowed from the defective original order. - HC
